space leasing question

[jeaniemarie]

Hi everyone! I am researching a business plan and this forum has been great. I definately want to lease space. What percentage of my gross potential should I considered for rent? How much for supplies? Does anyone have any product ideas to offset summer months when I anticipate sales to drop?

Thanks in advance

Why do you think sales would drop in the summer?

If you have access to outdoor seating I don't think your sales would drop, really. From what I have seen, the coffee shops around here are always hopping on summer nights and a lot of people are buying cold drinks instead of hot and are enjoying the nights since they are cooler.

Just a thought...
